Probably just that. We have some kind of function to hide the details
of the array a bit though, I just never rememer what it's called.
And I think I have patches somewhere to convert all of that over to
storing intel_crtc * instead of drm_crtc * since that's what everyone
wants.

No reason AFAICS. Same for disable. Though maybe we should add the gen
check to disable to make it symmetric, just to avoid some head scratching.

Hmm. Or actually, maybe just split to i915_*_vblank() and i965_*_vblank()
instead. Not much point in having the if in there when you can just
assign the right function pointer to begin with.
